In Greek mythology, Pirithous was the King of the Lapiths of Larissa in Thessaly. Pirithous was a son of "heavenly" Dia, fathered either by Zeus, he married Hippodamia, daughter of Atrax or Butes, at whose wedding the famous Battle of Lapiths and Centaurs occurred. By his wife, he became the father of one of the Greek leaders during the Trojan War. Peirithous was the close friend of the hero Theseus. According to Homer, Dia had sex with Zeus, disguised as a stallion, gave birth to Pirithous, his best friend was Theseus. In Iliad I, Nestor numbers Pirithous and Theseus "of heroic fame" among an earlier generation of heroes of his youth, "the strongest men that Earth has bred, the strongest men against the strongest enemies, a savage mountain-dwelling tribe whom they utterly destroyed". No trace of such an oral tradition, which Homer's listeners would have recognized in Nestor's allusion, survived in literary epic. In disjointed episodes that have survived, Pirithous had heard rumors about Theseus' courage and strength in battle but he wanted proof.

He rustled Theseus' herd of cattle from Marathon, Theseus set out to pursue him. Pirithous took up arms and the pair met became so impressed by each other they took an oath of friendship, they were among the company of heroes that hunted the Calydonian Boar, another mythic theme, well known to Homer's listeners. Pirithous was set to marry Hippodamia, their offspring being Polypoetes; the centaurs were guests at the party, but they got drunk and tried to abduct the women, including Hippodamia, carried off by the intoxicated centaur Eurytion or Eurytus. The Lapiths won the Centauromachy, a favorite motif of Greek art. Hippodamia died shortly after Polypoetes' birth, after which Pirithous went to visit Theseus at Athens only to discover that Theseus' own wife, was dead, thus and Theseus pledged to carry off daughters of Zeus. Pirithous chose a more dangerous prize: Persephone herself, they left Helen with Theseus' mother, Aethra, at Aphidnae, traveled to the underworld. When they stopped to rest, they found themselves unable to stand up from the rock as they saw the Furies appear before them.

Other accounts say that Pirithous was overcome by a horde of Furies, dragged off to eternal punishment. Heracles freed Theseus from the stone, he had committed too great a crime for wanting the wife of one of the great gods as his own bride. By the time Theseus returned to Athens, the Dioscuri had taken Helen back to Sparta; the rescue of Theseus and Pirithous acquired a humorous tone in the realm of Attic comedy, in which Heracles attempted to free them from the rock to which they had been bound together in the Underworld. He left behind his buttocks attached to the rocks. Due to this Theseus came to be called hypolispos, meaning "with hinder parts rubbed smooth." This may have been a invention. Pirithous was worshiped at Athens, along with Theseus, as a hero. Diodorus Siculus, The Library of History translated by Charles Henry Oldfather. Twelve volumes. Loeb Classical Library.
